Ugly but excellent

This book looks like it was designed 50 years ago even though it was published in 1997. Even though it looks ugly what is inside is very educational. Every business that needs to express their identity needs to own this book. Not educating yourself on the nuances of logo design could break your company.

Best book on the topic; a MUST for any business or organizat

The book is an excellent tool that anyone in the business world or an organization or institution should have as a necessity. It is well written, organized, educational, and thought provoking.

Haig's exemplary collection of information and ideas on something that so profoundly bombards us and affects our choices daily, is something every thinking person should set aside some time to read. It is well worth the price and should become a part of EVERY reference shelf; it is something you will want to share with others. It would make a great gift for any thinking person - or one that should.
